International Journal of Disability, Development and Education, v49 n3 p243-65 Sep 2002

Factors associated with children's attitudes towards persons with physical and intellectual disabilities were examined in a meta-analysis of 20 studies spanning the years 1990-2000. Factors included: attitudinal components, type of disability, age and gender of respondents, and role of inclusion. Children preferred target children without disabilities. (Contains references.)
